Corporate

Racial Justice

From access to housing, employment, wealth generation, healthcare access and outcomes, education, and criminal justice – your organization has a role to play in promoting racial justice. Our assessment will help identify areas of opportunity when it comes to racial equity from a holistic perspective.

OUR PERSPECTIVE
From 1619 to present, there have been policies, laws, and norms that have been based on racial and ethnic identify, from Jim Crow laws to redlining. Despite some strides and perceived progress, racial injustice and discrimination continue to inform policies, programs, and social attitudes that disproportionately affect our Black colleagues and colleagues of color. It is important that organizations commit to racial equity, increase their levels of awareness, and create actions to create a more inclusive culture. 
We are committed to providing research, resources and tools to understand how our past continues to shape our present, and what you can do within your organization to combat the inequities, disparities and policies that continue to impact your colleagues of color.

TOOLS

To understand corporate racial justice, it’s best to start with a thorough understanding of race and how it affects every aspect of our society. These tools will help you understand the systems of racial inequity in the world, and how we can affect change.

RESEARCH

Beyond Training and the “Skills Gap” provides a broad picture for the field’s leaders and professionals of how the workers they serve – particularly workers of color – are framed in the media coverage of jobs in two expanding, higher wage industries – technology and health care. 

The present research investigates how contact with Black Americans shapes White Americans’ willingness to engage in collective action for racial justice and support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Without adequate support, minority employees are likely to perceive their environments as more interpersonally and institutionally biased against them. Leaders seeking to create an inclusive environment for everyone must find ways to address these topics.
